The Harry Butler Red Devil Memorial in Minlaton, South Australia, honors Captain Harry Butler, a pioneering aviator and World War I flying ace. The memorial features a glass-fronted hangar housing the 'Red Devil,' Butler's renowned Bristol M1C monoplane. This aircraft gained fame on August 6, 1919, when Butler flew it from Adelaide to Minlaton, marking the first over-water airmail flight in the Southern Hemisphere. The memorial also displays Butler's original Le Rhone engine and a scale model of the plane, celebrating his life and contributions to aviation history.
